With it's signature flare for flamboyance, Morgans Hotel Group has transformed the Byzantine-Romanesque Ames building. Located at the historic intersection of Court, State, and Washington Streets, Ames is just steps to the major office towers of Boston's Financial District, fabled Boston Harbor, historic Fanueil Hall Marketplace, posh row homes of Beacon Hill, glamourous nightlife and shopping, and Boston Common. With more than a cursory nod to history, Ames showcases striking original architectural elements such as mosaic tile ceilings, ornately detailed staircases, 12-14 foot guestroom ceilings, intricately carved white marble fireplaces, and dramatic windows- juxtaposed against clean modern finishes, and interpretive illusionary art installations.

Providing a contrast of history and innovation, the Ames guestrooms exhibit an elegantly minimal and sleek framework with details that pay homage to the original 19th century design of the building. All accommodations have plasma televisions with DVD players. Guestrooms provide wireless Internet access (surcharge), phones, CD players, and complimentary weekday newspapers. Beds have premium bedding and bathrooms offer bathrobes, designer toiletries, and hair dryers. Additional amenities include climate control, minibars, and air conditioning. Housekeeping is offered.
